Note: the cover photo is to be updated because it is of the old venue next door to the current venue. Look for the Atheist t-shirts/windcheaters or call 0438 043 050. In-person meetups are back for the *Maroondah & Yarra Ranges Atheists*; the *Melbourne Eastern Hills Skeptics* and the *Knox Atheists*. To start with, we are gathering together as the *Outer Eastern Suburbs Melbourne Atheists* and meeting in Mooroolbark. The location will also be convenient to some in Manningham and Whitehorse and a bit further away is Monash and Nillumbik. It is very close to the Mooroolbark railway station therefore the meetups are easily accessible by trains from the city. We meet every second and fourth Thursdays. **We will be socializing with activism for those who want it.** **Sometimes we will have a special guest to speak.** For those who can't make it for lunch, we can organise evening and weekend events if you tell me (Andrew Rawlings) what you want, where and when. A day snow trip is being planned for next winter, During the year we will also join in some Melbourne-wide events like the Progressive Atheists Anniversary Lunch (January), Charles Darwin Day BBQ (February), Atheist Day and Nowruz BBQ (March), Yalda/Sumner Solstice/ChristMyth BBQ (December) and other ad hoc events. As it's a public café therefore come earlier if you wish. I will be there from midday. I recommend their food and coffee. **You are invited and welcome.** **Please share the invitation with other Atheists.** Regards, ***Andrew*** Andrew Rawlings

Join the Melbourne TED Talk Community for an engaging session and meet people who like being an ideator, who want to bring their voice to a larger community. In contrast to a typical public speaking training event, where you receive feedback on your amms and aas and the way you present, this goes beyond that. **The objective of this community is to get inspired by some of the best ideas serving humanity, find your own calling and voice, be an ideator, and share your ideas clearly and persuasively.** The talk we will play is one of the amazing talks from the TED Library. In this session, we will delve deeper into the topic and gain perspective, and learn from each other. Be prepared to network, engage in meaningful conversations, and embark on a journey of professional development and leadership growth. **Mark your calendars and don't miss this opportunity to refine your public speaking abilities with the Melbourne TED Talk Community!** **TED Talk link to watch together:** **TBA** **Agenda (as a guide)** 6.00 PM Registration 6.10 PM Introduction by Attendees 6.20 PM 10 min talk on screen (optional) 6.30 PM Breakout session (Group / Individual) based on topic 6.45 PM Individual / Group shares their takeaways 7.00 PM Practice the Art of Public Speaking - 2-3 talks of 2.5 minutes 7.10 PM Feedback to the Presenters and overall session 7.20 PM Event Concludes & floor opens for Networking **Fees: The event has a $5 contribution towards hiring the hall and Audiovisual.

Welcome to Casual Boardgames, where we enjoy classic tabletop games and social deduction games while bonding over good food, drinks, and great conversations. 
We started this group to meet new people and make new friends, and bonding over games in a relaxed atmosphere is a great way to do that. We currently meet near route 23 and Polaris Parkway, and this is close to areas like Powell, Lewis Center, Worthington, and parts of Westerville and Columbus. 
Feel free to bring your own games or play one of the many games our members bring. If you are inexperienced, we will help you learn. 
Here are just a few examples of the kind of games we play. 
Tabletop/board games: Splendor, Catan, Azul, Dominion, 7 Wonders… 
Social deduction games: Code Names, Chameleon, Werewords… 
IMPORTANT: 
1. While we love playing a variety of games and competing, we are not just about the games. We interact and talk while playing, and this leads to a lot of laughter and fun. If you just want to compete and focus solely on the game, then this is probably not the group you are looking for. 
2. Many people join groups like this and never (or rarely) show up after weeks or months. If you join and never really come, we will eventually remove you from the group as a courtesy to our members. Why? Because limiting group conversations (on the app) to regular members makes communication and planning much easier. Also, while it may be rare, it protects members from people who join because they are interested in following a person instead of having a real interest in our group. If you get removed, it is just because you haven’t come, and we follow this protocol as a courtesy to our regular game players.
